Giornale di Diritto del Lavoro e relazioni industriali was founded by Gino Giugni and is now edited by an international group of scholars of varying backgrounds, with a shared and long-standing experience in research. The journal is an independent publication, based on rigorous scientific criteria and was conceived, at its inception, as a peer reviewed publication. It is addressed both to the academic community and to the main players in industrial relations. The focus of "Giornale" is on the multifaceted aspects of work, whether they relate to collective labour law or to individual employment relations. Special attention is also paid to comparative and European issues, and to essays in the field of industrial relations

The journal uses a double blind peer review process. The referees are chosen among academics and professionals mainly external to the Editorial Board and selected according to their specific competence. Each article is sent anonymously to avoid possible influences due to the author’s name. The editors may decide not to submit to referees an article because it is judged not relevant or not rigorous and responsive to appropriate scientific standards. The referees judgments are sent to the author also in case of negative answer. The review process will be done via Franco Angeli Journals platformand according to international standards.
